Alabama is in an unusual spot heading into the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day against No. 1 Indiana.
Being an underdog is nothing new for the Crimson Tide; they were underdogs for their last two games against Georgia and Oklahoma. But this one feels different. Against the Bulldogs and Sooners, Alabama was just a minor underdog, and there were plenty of folks in the national media picking Alabama to emerge victorious.
Against Indiana, you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone outside of Alabama giving the Crimson Tide much of a shot against the Hoosiers. You can add former NFL offensive lineman turned Fox Sports analyst Geoff Schwartz to that ever-growing list, too.
